I would prefer any non-numeric name of the testfile.

This testfile correctly breaks without the fix applied with:
	g++ (GCC) 4.4.6 20110314 (prerelease)

but it gives false PASS even without the fix applied with:
	g++ (GCC) 4.5.3 20110314 (prerelease)
	g++ (GCC) 4.6.0 20110312 (experimental)

as recent GCCs no longer create multiple ctors in such case.

For a real testcase it should be in gdb.dwarf2/ (and then the special
compilation options are sure no longer needed).

It could check the `info break' output without running the testcase at all.
Nothing important.



Thanks,
